Piles of bodies are stacked along the sidewalks-many dripping blood onto the warm asphalt. The entire city is engulfed in flames in the late night with police sirens singing throughout the city, trying to stop the mayhem. From bakeries to strip malls, everywhere has fire emitting from it with the tears of the owners not even being enough to extinguish. The sounds of excruciating cries from dozens of people trapped under the rubble, missing limbs from those who battled, and some have their faces burned and melting off from the effects of the weapons-those were also scattered across the street much like the bodies-that had been dipped in the lethal drug known as G.P.A(Gallowayian Plutonic Acid).

The scattered bodies were dressed in two distinct apparel, Black Leather jackets and fancy suits with fedoras. The leather jacket wearers were members of the Galloway organization, an illegal organization run by the Galloway family that was known for their contraband and distribution of many illegal goods. The men that were dressed suits with fedoras were members of the Sororia family, the biggest mafia in Inkopolis. Cops swarm the streets, looking to collect the lifeless bodies and find the two men responsible for the entire massacre, Joseph Galloway-the head of the Galloway's and, Armando Sororia-Don of the Sororia family in the place of Santiago Sororia, who is in prison.

The actual war lasted only an entire day, but the effects were devastating. Many buildings were completely destroyed and many others had severe damage, many parents and their kids were left on the streets with no shelter, food supplies began to run scarce-the two families had a heavy hand in the distribution, schools were closed and jobs were shut down in the area as they began rebuilding the entire city. The result of this is from the long tension that had been growing from long before, when the Galloway's and Sororia's were in business. They had been working together in collaboration to produce and distribute different illegal goods with drugs being their signature sale while also manufacturing legal goods for the public of Beacon Hills. The top scientists for both families uncovered a new drug that quickly became a hit and sold out in the black market, used by other factions as weapons to harm and kill any Octarians that were outside Octo Valley and the underground. The relationship began to go sour when the Galloway's refused to give an equal cut to the Sororia's-the ones responsible for the transportation of all their goods and for the primary creation of such drugs in their facilities; this led to a dispute between the two as they argued over revenue. The relationship worsened when the Galloway's set up the don of the Sororia's-Santiago Sororia-and threw him under the bus; confessing to law enforcement that it was Santiago who was solely responsible for the distribution of the G.P.A. The police went through and didn't give a single thought to Sororia's explanation since he was one the most wanted men in the country and had his ties to the most lethal drug in Inkopolis history; the drug was known for its strong and addicting smell that would lure its users into performing unspeakable actions such as eating another's face off as well as melt their skin should they physically come into contact. Sororia accepted the sentence of imprisonment for 5 years, handing over the reins to his brother in the hopes that he could keep the community safe. Under the reign of Armando, he advocated for revenge and endorsed the division of Beacon Hill, shoving it down the throats of every resident to pick a side and align. The days got worse as small little encounters between the two added fuels to the fire with it ending up in a brawl or in a shootout; this led to the bloody war between the two families that occurred in the late night.

Returning to the present, at a pub in Beacon Hill, the Galloway family caused a ruckus. They had just trashed the pub and are now searching for clues to Violet's whereabouts, looking to attack her before the Sororia family can respond. The leader, Reice's dad-Joseph Galloway, grabbed the bartender by the shirt and lifted him up-his feet literally couldn't touch the ground; Joseph appeared to have had a few too many drinks-sounding a few hiccups as he shakes the bartender, emptying all the spare change in the bartender's pockets. The pub was surrounded by rough-neck inklings wearing cool shades with the same leather jackets; Reice's family exits the pub intimidating the others, followed by their grunts.

Following Joseph was the rest of the family, Madelyn Galloway-his wife and she looked very well for her age, Chase Galloway-the eldest son who had a condescending look, Ryan Galloway-the second eldest who had a permanent glare. They all got on chopper bikes and rode off, chanting the phrase: the Galloway's are coming, the Galloway's are back. The Sororia's are salty that we have a fat stack.

Over in a huge estate guarded by many men in the Sororia family, the current don Armando sits in a room with his closest members of the mafia. They were discussing the possibility of Violet making a return home after word got out that her father, Santiago, wrote a empty threat about attacking her friend unless she came down. Armando laughs as he hears this, knowing that Violet isn't aware of him becoming the new Don since her departure. He picks up a roll of bread that was in the middle of the table and takes a bite as his fellow men feed him more news.

"Although his letter is a fake, and as it stands, no activity has been confirmed by the Galloway family for targeting Mistress Violet." One of his men said, sitting down at the long table; there were about twenty men there, all ready to discuss what might be happening in the future.

"I heard that the Galloway's are actually coming back, they might even look to take over Beacon Hills…" another man said with concern.

"If the young mistress does return, this may become a problem…those rough riders will do whatever it takes to get under our skin; I think we should contact the young mistress and let her know that you will handle any issues here."

Armando slams his fist on the table, silencing everyone in attendance. They all look at him, awaiting his response after the sudden slam he made. He licks his lips as he stares them all down.

"Violet is to not know of my position as the Don, if she finds out…I know she'll come to claim my seat, she hates my guts after I stalked her."

"But sir, you did that out of goodwill…right?"

"Of course…"-looking around and at the table and then staring at the underling with beady eyes-"it was out of goodwill, I'd never to anything to harm her."

They all take him upon his word and continue on with their business, deciding to try and handle Violet's arrival while dealing with the possibility of an attack by the Galloway family. While they had their conference in a heavily guarded estate in what looked like the heart of Beacon Hills. The estate was massive; it had gardens everywhere with roman architecture inspiring most of the housing and other buildings there.

Meanwhile in a big house far away from that estate, sat a small group of inklings who were also discussing the topic of Violet. The leader of the discussion was Santiago Sororia, joined by his wife-Nina Sororia. His older brother Mario was there along with some other close allies of the family; they all were thinking of what to do now that Violet was surely on her way.

"Well, it's only a matter of time now. I got a text from her just now that she wants me to pick her up right now…" said Mario, a slim inkling with Navy Blue tentacles and green tinges-tied further down than the normal boy's hairstyle. He wore a black fedora to match his black suit and blue tie, wearing a kraken pendant around his neck.

"That's good…she trusts you the most." Nina said; she looked quite identical to Violet, only she had a more developed body than her daughter-as to be expected, and she had her tentacles wrapped in a top bun.

"I need her…she needs to save the family." Santiago said, sitting forward.

"I understand that you want her here to save the family, but exactly why did you use the threat of killing that boy?" Mario asked, holding a paper in his hand; the paper had all the information of Violet, documenting all the observations made on her while she was at school.

"That boy happens to be the Galloway's kid. I knew of their close relationship as kids, but I could never imagine that they would reunite, it was perfect timing." Santiago answered.

"Perfect timing…?" Nina echoed with curiosity.

"The Galloway's need saving too…it's about time we old geezers get out and bring in a wave of change."

"So what you're planning is to end the reign of both families?"

Santiago keeps quiet as he stares at a photo that contained him, his wife, and his daughter Violet. For many years, he regretted the decision of going into business with the Galloway family, turning his family operations over to Armando, and allowing a bloody battle to occur. Many nights in prison, he plotted and schemed for his chance to take down everything and start from scratch-everything.

"It's best if this place could start over. For many years, Beacon Hills has been infamous for the crime and corruption that resides here. For anything to change here, we must uproot those that planted the mess-including me."

They stay silent as they understand his words clearly; Mario leaves and makes his way down south to pick up his niece. The others stay behind to continue their discussion on the current status of the city; Mario specifically looks at his phone contacts to make a phone call to a special force who've kept the protection of Beacon Hill, the Silver Squidron of Beacon Hill high school.

At Beacon Hill High School, the main squad was ready to depart to the venue of the preliminaries; the main squad of Beacon Hill was Gin, Silvia, Platinum and Alumia. The reserve members of the team served as a part of the police force for that sector of Inkopolis, protecting the citizens under the title of the special unit. For Mario, he made friendships with some of the members of the special unit when he was in prison, so there was a chance that he could possibly invoke their help when time would allow so. Everything is all set to move rapidly as the city of Beacon Hill awaited the next cataclysmic clash between the two families.
